Steering column
First thing I would like to say is I really appreciate all the answers I get back on this forum it's a real help. With the mot looming I have now found that the steering column has play at the steering wheel end! Is this a matter of changing the top bearing in the ignition barrel? That looks a nightmare Or will it pass with what I think is slight play (but I am not an mot inspector)? thanks once again for your help
cheers Matt

There is a guide in the haynes manual about drilling in the right spot on your old lock housing to remove the ignition barrel as it will all have to moved to the new housing.
Few others on ebay and places so check the prices as this was the first one I found.

I've have play in mine for a couple of MOT and just got away with an advisory so either put it in and see what happens? I'm planning to change mine before my next MOT in November.
